Gives puppies a firm foundation in behavior and socialization by teaching healthy socialization with other dogs and people. Gives puppies a jumpstart on basic manners by introducing these important skills before they develop bad habits. The most critical learning period of a dog’s life is the first six months – this is when he learns the fastest, when he most readily masters new tasks, and when he adapts most readily to new environments. Our Puppy Head Start class is designed to maximize this opportunity and give the puppies a firm foundation in behaviors and socialization as they begin their journey through life as a part of our families. We will cover training and prevention of the most common puppy behaviors, such as housebreaking, crate training, play bite and dominance, socialization with people and other dogs, proper nutrition, and drive building exercises for further advanced training.
